NY State Senator Tweets ‘Kill Yourself’ To GOP Staffer Who Called Him Out

New York State Sen. Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn) found himself in hot water on Tuesday for telling a Twitter user to “kill” herself after she called him out for allegedly misusing his official parking placard.

Candice Giove, deputy communications director for New York state Senate’s Republican majority, had identified Parker as the owner of the placard featured in a tweet complaining about a parked car that was blocking the bike lane.

“The placard is assigned to [Parker],” Giove tweeted. “However, the license plate # on the placard does not match the vehicle. So he either used it in another car or gave it to someone to use, both of which are not permitted.”

The tweet apparently sent Parker into a rage, prompting him to reply, “Kill yourself!” an hour later.

Kevin Parker needs to resign ASAP. This is insane! When comments like this are forgiven & forgotten, we only have ourselves to blame when politicians like this monster climb up the ladder of power... https://t.co/ImQRzJUIuZ
